Description
Criminology in Australia and New Zealand is internationally renowned for leading research across a range of areas relating to gender identity and sexuality. The Gender, Sex & Sexualities thematic group aims to bring together scholars, students, activists and practitioners working across all aspects of criminology that relate to gender identity and sexuality. The group strives to provide an inclusive and productive space for driving critical, theoretical, empirical, and applied thinking.
We welcome people at all stages of their careers whose work focuses on areas including,
but not limited to:
• Gender-based violence (including sexual and domestic violence)
• Masculinities
• Legal and discursive regulation of gender, sex and sexualities (incl. emerging identities)
• Trans and gender-diverse lives
• Indigenous sexual and gender identities
• Sex work and pornography
• The regulation of sexual practices (normative and non-normative)
• The legal production/construction and regulation of sex, gender and sexualities
• LGBTQ+ communities’ experiences of the criminal legal system
• Queer criminology
• Theories of genders and sexualities
• Research methods for exploring and examining genders and sexualities
• Advocacy, activism and social justice
Aims and objectives
• Foster collaborative, collegial and cross-disciplinary relationships between scholars, students and activists in the field;
• Support the career development of early career researchers;
